I'm making this post comparing the manner in which Rakhee and Devika try to present facts.
Both are smart women who can see through the intentions of others,
While Rakhee uses manipulation and humiliating Anupama as the mode to settle scores with her, Devika has pointed out the facts enabling Anupama to take a stance.
She is aware of Anupamas value system and her weaknesses. She definitely puts Anupamas wellbeing as top priority when giving her Devikas point of view.
There are people who have been ardent Rakhee fans arguing why can't Anupama be like her. Thank God she is not like Rakhee or for that matter Kinjal has not taken after her.
Rakhee looks for opportunity to create Tamasha. She can stoop to any level to have her way. Uses her money power to humiliate the Shahs. She doesn't even think before she speaks or acts.
Her intent is tamasha be it manipulation of Kavya, Paritosh or Pramod. Her intentions are vile and she has badla as the hidden agenda. She can stamp Anupamas feet, ensure she falls at her feet and has never ever done an act of kindness or empathy.
Rakhee's intention of manipulation of opportunity and situations makes her vile. Make us pray never to come across a human like her.
Devika has all qualities for a very understanding, supportive caring friend. She puts forth her perspective to give Anupama the nudge requires she speaks up for Anupama when, the family gets abusive!
Devika is empowering, Rakhee is demeaning.
I adore Devika and loathe Rakhee for these reasons.
